“….”
There was silence among the mercenaries. I waited quietly until they spoke first.
Presenting a line was originally a problem that involved a lot of thought.
Since it is the starting point of negotiation, if you offer too high, you will be caught up in the opponent’s pace, and if you offer too low, the deal itself will fall through.
Since the price of the transaction is your life, of course you have to be careful.
Of course, not everyone can be cautious.
A grim-looking mercenary with a scar across his face seemed to be unable to hold back his anger and pointed a point at me.
“Headbreaker! We have nothing to do with it! “I know what you’re talking about… Wow!”
Since I had no intention of listening to the guy’s answer, I shot him and destroyed his head. The mercenaries were silent as they saw the corpse of their comrade lying on the ground with his head blown off.
“….”
“Is this your official answer?”
As I was about to make up my mind to use my hand, Nakayama shouted.
“I’ll tell you the League’s secret base!”
“Nakayama!”
“Our survival comes first. The relationship with the league comes next. “If I die like this, it’s just a dog’s death.”
Nakayama persuaded those around him with a calm voice and told me about the league’s base.
It was quite unexpected as it was a completely unexpected location. It’s definitely worth the information.
“Is this enough?”
“Well, that’s fine. “If you search through their heads over there, you’ll find it.”
“You won’t be able to do it.”
“can not?”
“Didn’t the attempt against hackers fail?”
It was surprising that Nakayama noticed that. I thought it was the hacker’s gift that prevented information collection.
However, a different answer came out than expected.
“I knew that I could extract information from your head, so I came up with a plan.”
“To prepare for my attack?”
“okay.”
Rather, isn’t this more useful information?
“You won’t be able to get the information you want from the league’s villains. So the information I give you is valuable.”
“I’ll have to check to see if that’s true.”
If what Nakayama said is true.
“that’s enough.”
It was information that had not yet been confirmed, but I was not worried.
Unlike the League’s hidden base, the location of the international mercenaries is revealed as they seek a sunny location.
If the information is false, you have to bear the price.
“….”
[They seem to have lost heart?]
If they sold a fake, of course they have to pay the price. Still, because of what I had seen so far, I did not think Nakayama’s information was wrong.
“Then we’ll go back.”
“Go.”
“Sure.”
Nakayama and the mercenaries, who had been cautiously taking a step back, disappeared. I was left alone in the basement space.
“I thought they had withdrawn from Japan, but I never thought it was a trick.”
What Nakayama told us was none other than the story of the league base located in Japan.
I decided to stop by later and check it out and return to LA first.
[Leave it here?]
“That can’t be possible.”
We have to make it so that it cannot take its place again.
I started organizing the remaining villains on the submarine.
I tried to identify the base through brainwashing, but the results were not good.

As the mainland was in uproar over the explosion in Hawaii, I returned to LA and began looking into the gifts stolen by hackers.
This gift, called hacking, can interfere with any electronic device.
This unique ability is a lethal force in modern warfare, and by recruiting hackers, the League has been able to expand its influence across the world.
The league, which seemed as if it would swallow up the entire world in an instant, faltered because countries around the world joined forces to fight against each other.
It was known that way until now.
But as I looked into hacking, I realized that wasn’t true.
“It has serious drawbacks.”
Hacking was literally a gift that only a genius could handle. Through detailed force control, the code that operates on electronic equipment must be read and reverse engineered to inject opposing commands.
Since it had to be done in a split second, a genius mind was essential.
The decisive drawback here is the enormous force consumption.
In order to intervene from a great distance, explosive force and a genius brain must be supported by the physical ability to support it.
I was able to understand why the hacker operated completely in the shadow of the league and hid all his movements.
[First of all, it would be impossible to hack with your head.]
“That’s right.”
[uh? I admit it obediently.]
“It’s true that I don’t have the brains or the will to do that.”
There is no need for me to hack an incoming missile and send it back like a hacker.
“But there is another way.”
The reason hackers went through so much trouble was to pose a threat through hacking.
But I have a completely different purpose.
“It’s difficult to hack someone else’s thing and make it your own, but…”
I stretched out my hand and activated the hack. The tablet brought for practice came under the scope of hacking. However, it is a long road to control.
But that’s not what I intend to use that tablet for.
Kwasik!
The tablet, unable to handle the aftereffects of the sloppy hacking, was shattered.
Yes, if you can’t handle it in detail with hacking, you can just destroy it. I felt an incredible amount of force, but I guess I have some force left.
In doing this, there were many similarities to hacking and brainwashing. When the cult leader had brainwashing, he used it in detail to train his devotees, but I just extracted the information and turned them into idiots.
I know how to use the force in more detail than anyone else, so I wondered why I couldn’t do brainwashing or hacking.
[You probably don’t want to put in that much effort.]
Yongyong’s words were painful to the core. Because it’s definitely not wrong.
“doesn’t care. “It’s okay if I write it well in my own way.”
After practicing several times, I was able to become confident. If you have this, you can destroy all nearby CCTV and black box smartphones.
Perfect assassination becomes possible. It is a technology that is a perfect match for me.
[A crazy person has crazy abilities.]
* * *
Not long after I chased after the hacker and raided the League base, I mobilized a guild in the United States and took over an empty fortress. Then, they immediately mobilized their missile power and simultaneously struck the League’s base.
The hacker on the submarine, avoiding my pursuit, was unable to respond, and as a result, five league bases located in the United States were bombed and devastated.
The United States and the party’s forces successfully attacked the League Villains, who were struggling, and dealt a huge blow.
Although there was no consultation with me, he intervened at perfect timing and achieved exquisite results.
If you look at the US government and parties that were supposed to be rivals joining forces, they clearly have the ability.
[Didn’t you achieve success by using it?]
“That’s also a skill.”
Even if the villain dies anyway, it’s not something to worry about because he’s dead.
However, Yongyong pretends not to be a guy and tries to subtly create a conflict.
[No, I asked because it was something that might make you feel bad. You seem to be in a worse mood than you think?]
“It’s as bad as it gets.”
Rather, I think I went out of my way to clean up the mess. My attack could have caused some trouble, but I attacked the player in advance to prevent that from happening.
Thanks to this, I don’t have to watch the villains install it, so it’s perfect.
Is all that remains now to hunt Leviathan?
The changed atmosphere was also felt in LA, so much so that even Jeong Da-hyeon, who was concentrating on hunting, could feel it.
“The atmosphere here is unusual. “What’s going on?”
“We’re clearing out the league.”
“I heard last time that a major cleanup was done, but it seems it wasn’t done completely.”
“Remnants remain everywhere. “I’m going to use this opportunity to get rid of that too.”
He’s probably a small child who doesn’t even know he’s in the league. There are people who are exploited everywhere in the world.
“Then I’ll have to do my best too.”
Although she has now shifted her focus to hunting monsters, Da-Hyeon Jeong was originally a specialist in arresting villains.
It reminds me of the old days. At that time, Jeong Da-hyun was unable to make a proper arrest due to his soft view of justice. When I think about it, I think I created people.
[I didn’t cut him down?]
Cutting him down means I created him properly. Look at that carefree face of Jeong Da-hyeon.
[You seem excited at the thought of catching a villain.]
Catching a villain should be exciting. If you catch one, the world will become that much more peaceful, so of course you should have fun. Only then will efficiency increase and performance improve.
[Stop talking, don’t talk.]
For some reason, Yongyong seemed very dissatisfied, but I was glad to hear Dahyun Jeong’s words.
“It will be reassuring.”
That’s how Jeong Da-hyeon joined the villain-clearing operation.

Herbert flew to LA.
With his determination, he succeeded in greatly reducing the league’s power in the United States by striking five league bases.
As a result, Herbert’s approval rating in the United States rose by more than 20%. An unusual situation occurred in which the re-elected president exceeded 70%.
“It’s all thanks to Head Breaker.”
Herbert praised me, saying it was all thanks to me. He had the right timing, but he couldn’t have done it without me, so he nodded his head in response.
“I don’t think I came that far just to say thank you.”
“yes? haha! It’s true that I came to say thank you. “I plan to keep an eye on the elimination of villains in LA.”
“Do you have any other plans?”
“Of course, there are many thoughts. For example, the recruitment of Dahyun.”
He reveals his true feelings right away. It was safe to say that Herbert’s words declared that he was interested in recruiting Dahyun Jeong.
I guess you could say that Jeong Da-hyun is coveted to that extent. Since he is classified as my disciple, he must be looking at me.
Regarding this, if I think of Jeong Da-hyun as a disciple, no.
I have no intention or plan to become involved in a priestly relationship with anyone.
I can teach you a lesson, but it’s not good to call yourself a teacher or a student based on that.
“However, if you don’t like it, I plan to withdraw right away.”
“I feel comfortable in Korea.”
However, I am not sure whether I am qualified to control Dahyun Jeong’s future.
“The choice is Dahyun Jeong’s.”
“Is that so?”
Herbert’s expression brightened as if he wanted this answer.
If anyone sees it, it will seem like they couldn’t recruit him because of me.
[You must have been cautious. If you mess up, you’ll break the head first.]
“By the way, the approval rating is quite high.”
“Haha, thanks.”
“But since it’s a re-election, there’s no need to participate in the presidential election anymore. Are you planning to be satisfied with the re-creation of the regime?”
There are still three years left in Herbert’s term, and there is no guarantee that the current approval rating will be maintained three years from now.
Moreover, there are various factions within the party, and even if they form a majority, there is a possibility that they will differentiate after three years if they pursue different directions.
Herbert looked surprised at my words.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
I looked at Daniel, who was sitting quietly next to Herbert, drinking tea, and said,
“I was wondering what you think of Vice President Daniel as the next president.”
“Phew!”
Perhaps unexpectedly, Daniel spewed out black tea.
“What are you saying!”
Daniel, who was scared, tried to stop me, but was defeated by Herbert’s shouts.
“This is a great offer! “I didn’t know there was someone with the same thoughts as me!”
He continued speaking without giving Daniel any time to speak.
“Daniel is a true presidential candidate. Even before I became president, he already had excellent qualities, and since he has gained experience in government affairs by my side, I can say with certainty that there is no candidate greater than this. Daniel is a great person who can develop your relationship even further than it is now!”
“….”
“I think the same thing.”
“Please take care of our Daniel. Hahahaha!”
He took Herbert’s hand, who immediately offered to shake his hand, and an agreement was reached without the parties’ intention.
